Are Low Sugar Diets REALLY Good for You?

The anti-aging movement is a social movement of physicians and other health providers and patients devoted to reducing the effects of and reversing aging. A substantial portion of the attention of the movement is on the possibilities for life extension, but there is also interest in techniques such as cosmetic surgery which ameliorate the effects of aging rather than delay or defeat it.

The two most prominent scientists in the anti-aging movement are Ray Kurzweil, who thinks we can defeat aging through the advance of technology , and Aubrey De Grey, who thinks the human body is a very complicated machine and thus, can be repaired indefinitely.

Graceful Aging: The Master List of Foods to Include to Help You Feel and Look Your Best
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you enjoyed your weekend~ Here in the Northeast we experienced our first real taste of Autumn! Such a beautiful time of the year…
Speaking of beauty….
One of the more frequent questions I get from both clients and friends is what are the best foods to eat to help with the appearance of skin. Very specifically, what foods can one include in their diet to slow the aging process. It’s a good question but it doesn’t have such an easy answer.
Aging is an inevitable part of life. We are born to age and eventually leave the earth and one would hope one exits in a blaze of glory, having experienced and done everything your heart desires. I certainly am striving for that. But in the process of living and playing, it is important to take care of your health so that you can not only feel good for as long as possible, but look good as well.
How well you age is a function of several factors, primary among them, the way you feed and take care of your body. If you eat low quality foods, spend a lot of time on the couch watching TV, feeling lethargic and sad then that dynamic can create certain destructive processes in your body that can lead to inflammation which can in turn lead to chronic disease. That same inflammation will also show up on your face in the form of bags under your eyes, sagging skin and an aged appearance.
The very best way to age gracefully is to eat high quality foods that nourish your body in an optimal way and in today’s video I am going to share with you the top must-include-foods that you should regularly have in your diet. In doing so you will find that you have more energy, better focus and concentration, you will begin to feel better and yes, you will also begin to look better.
Once you’ve watched the video, I’d love to hear from you! Of the nine foods mentioned, which make a regular appearance on YOUR plate? I’d love to know~ And what specifically do you feel you get from including those foods in your diet? Let me know in the comments below~ My personal favorites? Numbers 4 and 7 (they both bring me a lot of pleasure)….although I truly love them all~
I hope you enjoy today’s video…. as always, it’s a pleasure to be a part of your Monday’s!
Have an excellent week everyone~

Mediterranean diet could slow aging, study suggests: World News

Mediterranean diet could slow aging, study suggests.
As evidence continues to build that the Mediterranean diet is among the healthiest on the planet, Boston researchers reported Tuesday that a diet rich in olive oil, fish, and plant foods, as well as a glass of wine with meals, could lead to a moderately longer life span.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, examined nutritional data from 4,676 women participating in the well-known Harvard Nurses’ Health Study, and determined that those whose dietary habits hewed closest to the Mediterranean diet had longer telomeres, which protect the ends of a cell’s chromosomes and shorten with age.
“We know that having shorter telomeres is associated with a lower life expectancy and a greater risk of cancer, heart disease, and other diseases,” said study coauthor Immaculata De Vivo, an associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “Certain lifestyle factors like obesity, sugary sodas, and smoking have been found to accelerate telomere shortening, and now our research suggests the Mediterranean diet can slow this shortening.”
Mediterranean diet components such as vegetables, fish, and wine are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory effects that could protect against cell aging, but the researchers didn’t find that any single food offered more benefits than another. Rather, it was the combination of dietary components — rated on a scale of 0 to 9, with a higher score more closely resembling the Mediterranean plan — that predicted telomere length.
Each one point change in diet score corresponded to a greater telomere length and appeared to add 1½ years of life, De Vivo said. The researchers controlled for other lifestyle factors that may have affected the results, such as exercise, smoking, and age.
New York University nutrition professor Marion Nestle, who was not involved in the study, said the findings should be interpreted with caution because the methods used by the researchers to connect a woman’s dietary intake with telomere lengths do not prove that diet alters telomeres.
“With that said, the study says eating healthfully is good for you,” Nestle added. “It might even make you live a year or so longer.”
A clinical trial published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Spanish participants at increased risk for heart disease who were randomly selected to follow a Mediterranean diet had 30 percent fewer heart disease deaths, strokes, and heart attacks than those randomly assigned to a group that received generic nutrition advice to reduce sweets and eat fewer processed foods.
Another small clinical trial published last year involving 35 men in their 50s and 60s found that those who adopted for five years several lifestyle changes — including following a vegan diet, taking fish oil supplements, and engaging in regular exercise and meditation — experienced a 10 percent lengthening of their cell telomeres.
The Mediterranean diet is two-thirds of the way toward a whole foods plant-based diet, but it begs the question as to whether it’s the optimal diet,” said Dr. Dean Ornish, president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, who led the telomere clinical trial involving middle-aged men. We’ve found that when people make bigger changes, as an intervention, they could actually lengthen their telomeres,” rather than just slow their shortening.
In the latest study, the Brigham researchers found that women who followed other healthful diet approaches — eating chicken and low-fat dairy foods in addition to fruits, vegetables, and legumes — also had longer telomeres than those who ate a typical American diet filled with hamburgers, bacon, sweets, and fried foods. The Mediterranean diet followers, however, had the longest telomeres on average.
Genetic differences in telomere length that vary by ethnicity might explain some of the difference, wrote Peter Nilsson, a professor of medicine at Lund University in Sweden, in an editorial that accompanied the study. It could be that those born with longer telomeres are also more likely to gravitate toward a Mediterranean-style diet because of cultural preferences.

5 Steps To Looking 10 Years Younger And Reduce Signs Of Aging
Did you know that once you hit 40 years of age, whether you're a man or a woman, your body starts aging FASTER than normal? Studies have shown that without the proper nutrients and exercise, your body will age about 6 months EXTRA for every year that passes. Think about that! If you are 40, that means by the time you hit 44 you will LOOK and FEEL 48. And by the time you reach 60, you will LOOK and FEEL 70 YEARS OLD! We see this every day... just look around you.
Did you know that 90% of people over the age of 35 lose enough muscle every year to burn off an additional 4 pounds of body fat? That means you not only lose the only thing on your body that creates shape, tone, and strength—you also gain more fat every year, even if your calories stay the same.
Did you know that all of this is reversible at any age? That there are specific ways to move, eat, and think that tell your brain to STOP this rapid aging process... and even SLOW IT DOWN to the point where you're aging less than a year for every year? That means you can look younger at 40 than you do at 35.
This is not fantasy talk. This does not require a boatload of anti-aging drugs, supplements, or gimmicks. And, this works for anyone, male or female, and works at any age. 35, 45, 55, 65, 75... you name it. The biology is exactly the same.
It always begins with these 5 key principles you must apply in order to STOP the rapid signs of aging that's going on right now, reverse it, and begin "aging backwards" by restoring your body's natural stay looking young hormones.
That said: What you are about to hear may go against all the conventional diet and exercise advice you've been hearing. That's because the world has, to be utterly frank, gone soft! "Core training", hot yoga, spin classes, tai chí all of these are just fine, but they won't slow your aging, and they certainly will never shape your muscles or burn off stubborn body fat. No way!
These 5 steps reveal the things you absolutely MUST AVOID if you want to slow the aging process, reclaim your health, and achieve your ideal body.
What you need is a splash of cold water, a touch of Old School, and the honest truth. Sound good? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Forget Low-Fat Diets.
Forget Low Fat! Low fat everything has been the craze now for decades and look around. What has that wonderful bit of advice done for the bodies you see? We're fatter, sicker, and more addicted to sugar and carbs than any other time in history. And, we're passing these habits to our kids.
Fats are not to be feared – they're to be embraced. They do not make you fat; rather, they help your body regenerate your power hormones. Testosterone, the 'strength' hormone, for example, is the direct result of cholesterol and dietary fat intake. That's right: "Cholesterol" isn't a dirty word! Your body needs dietary fat and cholesterol in order to produce ANY AND ALL vital hormones.
People on low fat diets look drawn, gaunt, and weak. They are often sick, sometimes to the point of literally breaking down. And, they can never just enjoy eating out. Every meal and every gram must be accounted for. Do you really think this will make you younger? Of course not... it will worry you to death if it doesn't kill you first!
Step 2: Stop Running in Circles.
Stop Spinning Your Wheels! Gym classes can be fun, if you like sitting in one place and torturing yourself. But have you noticed how little people change their bodies in these classes? Sure, it's good "cardio", but cardiovascular conditioning can be gained with far less time and effort.
Treadmills, and any form of endurance training (especially running) does very little to help the age reversal process. Many times, these long-duration exercise bouts accelerate the aging process by increasing free radicals. These free radicals are scavengers that prey on your body's essential nutrients and tissues.
There's a smart way to exercise... we'll cover that in a minute. And, what's wonderful is that it takes you about ¼ the time of traditional workouts.
We'll show you HOW we do that on the next page. Click The Link Below...

You can reduce your risk of a heart attack by up to 86% just by practicing healthy habits. And the more you do, the lower the risk.
Also - a new study shows that sitting less and exercising more actually reverse aging, and provides details as to exactly how this happens. This will motivate you to MOVE!!

TOP 10 ANTI AGING FOODS. CACHCHONGLAOHOA.COM

TOP 10 ANTI AGING FOODS.
There are some hard-fast rules to looking, staying, and feeling young.
First on the list is maintaining a good diet by keeping caloric intake low, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, minimize salt, sugar, saturated fat intake and eat ample amount of oily fish.

Most of the world's population, even in developed countries, has inadequate intake of one or more of the ~30 essential vitamins and minerals, mostly used as cofactors by the proteins/ enzymes of metabolism. A varied and balanced diet should provide enough vitamins and minerals; an unbalanced diet with too much refined food provides calories, but not enough vitamins and minerals. Triage theory posits that, as a result of recurrent shortages of vitamins and minerals during evolution, natural selection developed a strategic rationing response to moderate shortages so that the scarce vitamins and minerals are preferentially retained by vitamin and mineral dependent proteins that are essential for short-term survival and reproduction. In contrast, proteins needed for long-term health, which defend against the diseases associated with aging, are starved for the vitamins and minerals and thus are disabled. Moreover, since the damage from moderate deficiency is insidious, its importance for long-term health is not clinically apparent. Strong support for triage theory comes from the analyses of published data on proteins dependent on vitamin K and on selenium. Both of these vitamins and minerals have built into metabolism a triage-like trade- off between short-term survival and long-term health; each uses a different mechanism to accomplish this end. Mechanistic, genetic, and epidemiological evidence suggests that this metabolic trade-off accelerates aging-associated diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, and cognitive decline.
